Suffering and discomfort reveal and intensify the real you

Suffering and discomfort reveal and intensify the real you.

For some, it exposes weaknesses that need purging. For others, it brings out strengths. For a select few, facing the worst kind of suffering brings enlightenment, the fruit of being intensely mindful.

This revelation of the true self is why so many are afraid of suffering and discomfort. They are afraid to be revealed as unworthy and unable to pass the test. A reasonable fear, as many fail.

To pass the test, you must laugh in the face of death, embrace your discomfort, purge your weaknesses, find your strengths, and save yourself. You become a new person, and take full responsibility for your life.

You will know when you have succeeded by what you produce: a blissful marriage, many children, lasting friendships, beautiful art, profound discoveries, enemies defeated, brothers saved, and a secure legacy.

And, if you are of the right temperment, suffering will bring about a deep connection with reality that creates fearlessness, bold, and ambitious men who change the world.

If you are struggling with your suffering, reach out for help. Often, the first step in taking responsibility for your life is getting the help you need to save yourself. DM me now while you are motivated to do it.
